Kansas Hunting Information Regulations
Kansas Hunting Regulations
Kansas has a large walk-in hunting areas program (WIHA). This allows hunters free access to large private properties under certain rules. This atlas shows all public lands and Walk-In Hunting Access (WIHA) tracts in Kansas.
WIHA tracts are numbered. Some of the WIHA tracts in the atlas are complexes of small tracts in close proximity to each other. In these cases, the areas have one listing.
The maps included in the atlas are to be used for general reference only. Signs will mark the actual WIHA boundary. In some instances, the boundary may be a creek, river, hedgerow, crop field, or CRP field where the boundary may be difficult to map. Use the posted signs as the true boundary.
The atlas also depicts state and federal areas that are open to hunting. Some of these areas have special regulations in effect and some areas may have refuge areas that are closed to hunting. Contact the specific area office for additional information.
WIHA property can be removed from the program at any time; in this case "No Longer Enrolled in WIHA" signs will be posted. Once these signs are posted, access is prohibited
Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
Oregon Hunting Information
Oregon is not known to be a trophy big game producing state. That said they do have good quantities of animals such as Elk.
New Mexico Hunting Information
New Mexico is one of the top destinations for trophy Elk and Antelope hunting. Draw odds can be tough depending on the unit but landowner tags are also available for those who don't draw. Mule Deer are plentiful but generally of average size. Only a couple of units and reservations consistently produce big muleys.
